Having looked at the prices asked of several home forecasting units I have settled on the locost version.

Get three pieces of timber 1200mm long x25x25mm sq. Bind together in a tripod hang a stone 100mm dia from said tripod.
Here is the instructions for use to decode the weather stone.LOL


'A dry stone means...it is not raining.
a wet stone means...it is raining.
a shadow under the stone means....the sun is shining.
if the stone is swinging, it means....there is a strong wind blowing.
if the stone jumps up and down it means....there is an earthquake.
if ever it is white on top...believe it or not....it is snowing.'
If stone is expanding ....its getting hot
If stone is contracting ...its its getting cold

If stone is fuzzy or appears to have a pal...better to walk than drive to your next destination.

cheaper and more accurate than them satalite thangs i spose
